Do game companies accept ideas?

Drace, quit it about Mario, at least the games are fun, unlike most other games, like Halo.

most other games, like Halo.

Halo 1 was actually pretty fun
2 & 3...not so much
Still fun, but just not as

Plus 1 is very amusing in co-op, to this day.

Halo 2 and 3 were great for multiplayer (more than great, even. Halo 3 is one of the best online games I've ever played, excluding the fact that the general audience was made up of immature, swearing, often prepubescent players. Playing with the other 10% made it worth digging through the shitheads, though), but the charm was dead when it came to single player.

[fruckert]

I have no friends, so single player is generally what I look for.

[Archem]

You poor fruck.

I <3 multiplayer halo3
Playing it right now. :3

[fruckert]

You poor fruck.

I know

The game industry rather have 1,000,000 shooters about aliens in space or WWII than use any new ideas. But, hey, no one minds. Every shooter is awesome because they're the same (bullet time and everything)

You  can not argue or tell me that Gears of war is like Halo3.
Don't bother trying.

[Deathreaper]

Well, Gears uses a different engine all together. But, I wasn't saying that ALL are alike. Just MOST of them. Too many use bullet-time, too many abuse the alien war story to holy hell and if it's not that it's he same science experiment stuff, too many of them are mindless and I can say with no hesitation that they are the easiest genre of games I have ever played in this era. While Gears is different because of it's duck and cover thing, it's bound to be copied to death.

[Darkfox]

It's true. With the exception of a chosen few, most shooters are alike. Too many WWII shooters too. They need to cut that crap out.

[Felix-0]

still. Halo3 is win, and fun to play.
Different form CoD and GoW

[Deathreaper]

Well, Halo 3 is fun as far as i've played it. I played co-op with my best friend over his house. Never got to play online much since he owns the game and I don't.

Oh, so playing golf with Mario is a win? Sorry, but the Halo trilogy is quite entertaining. Mario used to be fun up until the N64, when it started going downhill. They already destroyed the Mario gameplay because it should never surpassed past 2D, just like Sonic. You can live in your fantasy world, but honestly, Mario Tennis and Golf and all that other bullcrap killed the franchise. And this is coming from a Mario fan. I was a fan of Mario up until the **** up games.

Enjoy your Mario Cooking Class, I'll be playing real games over here.

EDIT: Besides, there are plenty of original games, if you bloody look around.

Example: Shadow of the Colossus (PS2)
Example: Haunting Ground (PS2)
Example: Project Zero (PS2)
Example: The Warriors (PS2)
Example: Ghost Master (Xbox)
Example: Assassin's Creed (360)
Example: Clive Barker's Jericho (360), though not the best of games, it does bring a lot of awesome shooter features that I don't see a lot
Example: Dead Rising (360)
Example: Lost Planet (360)
Example: Mirror's Edge (360)
Example: Prey (360), not entirely original, but play the game and you'll get what I mean.

I could go on, but I think I made my point. I know some games are released on multiple systems but I only mentioned the system I got it on.

Are you kidding me.
I loved super mario 64, and sun-shine. Those are epic games. hands down.
But galaxies was a fail ,and any other sports franchise.
